This is a great home to encourage family interaction. With the living room, kitchen and dining areas flowing openly from one to
the other, there is a feeling of spaciousness. A skylight at the main entry brings in the sunshine on both levels and gives this practical little home a touch of pizzazz.
On the other hand, if it is privacy you seek, the four generous bedrooms offer each occupant a place to call their own.
Oversized closets (note there are two in the master unit) allow for plenty of storage, and built-in shelves in the dining
room allow for books or china display without using additional floor space for furniture.
The laundry room leaves space for a folding table. The broom closet could be substituted for hanging space. One of
the two pantries in the kitchen could then become a broom closet ... so you see, there are options depending on an
individual family's lifestyle. And don't overlook the laundry chute between the upper and lower levels.
If your lot warrants a basement, one could easily be added by omitting the closet under the stairs. This is a practical
location for a basement stair as well. With a little tweaking of the foundation, this home could easily grow in size to be
finished now or later. Again, options abound.
With the offset bay on the front punch and a trellis to balance the exterior wall - an element of interest separating this
home from the rest - the family gardener is sure to be pleased. Speaking of that bay window, note how it flows with the
corner fireplace to add shape and space to the living room.
Great traffic flow leads the way for a comfortable, happy home. And for the casual household, this plan has a lot to offer.
